This 2009 blockbuster was a huge success at the time because it talked about something that other romantic comedies weren’t covering: the very basic reasons that guys are not into you. It honestly changed the way I was seeing things, back when I was 20 years old. I realized that more often than not, things are rather simple and we, girls, are the ones who complicate everything by over thinking, over sharing and over analyzing. Sure, some situations can be tricky to understand but others are so, so, so easy. In my experience, when guys are interested, they really are interested. They make time to be with you, invite you out or even you invite them out and they say yes. If you are pushing for something to happen, it means the guy is not interested. It’s such a breath of fresh air because we tend to complicate our lives more than we have to, and that movie, to me, was simple, understandable, enlightening and clarifying. It helped demystify so many situations while I was single and put my mind at ease. I wasn’t suffering, lingering or trying to read every sub-text of the actual texts or comments. This can be awfully stereotyped but it tends to be the truth. Whenever a guy is bailing you off, he’s just not that into you. When he’s finding excuses not to be with you, he’s just not that into you. When he’s the right person, you’ll both want to be together and not complicate things. It should come naturally!
